Reasons To Stay • Brandon Flynn

Chapter 15: Who's Your Favorite?

Nadine's pov

I diverted my attention to Brandon. "You arranged all of this for me, didn't you?"

His mouth was opened slightly, ready to answer my question. But before the word could slip out, i rushed to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug.

I felt his body tensed against mine, but then he relaxed and wrapped his arms around my back, reciprocating the gesture.

"Thank you." I gushed, now at a breathable distance from him.

His blue eyes, that now are very familiar to me, shone down at me. A smile played on his face. "Anything to make you happy, Nads, i'll be glad to do that." He pulled apart, his hands were leaving my hips, now awkwardly resting on his side.

I just shook my head as a smile started taking over my face. "You're something else, Brandon."

"Only for you, Nadine. Only for you."

And that scares me.

I don't want to develop any possible feelings for him. But he kept on making it harder every minute, every second, every time we were together.

Or its probably just me, haven't being with guys and haven't had proper relationship for a very long time that i couldn't tell if boys really have feelings for me or are just being nice to me.

Thats how pathetic i am, having no idea how to deal with boys anymore.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Dylan approached us, saying that he's already loaded the trunk with their luggages. "All done." He said as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Now what?" Alisha asked.

"What do you guys want to do? Sleeping off the day or having some fun?" I heard Brandon chimed in.

Miles' lips twitched up into a small smile. "Im down with option number two."

"Show them how to have fun, Nads." Brandon turned to me, his face lit up. "Shall we keep going to the lake?" He asked, his way to remind me of our canceled plan yesterday.

I then felt all eyes were on me. "I don't think lake is a good idea if you guys want to have some fun." I shrugged. "Since this island is having a lot of beautiful beaches then i guess im going to take you all to the beach."

"Again?" Brandon groaned.

I just chuckled to his response. "Don't blame me, all i know about this place is only the foods and the beaches."

"Beach sounds nice." Dylan nodded, taking my offer.

"Yeah, i guess. Wherever you want to take us, Nadine, im down." Miles said, now landing his gaze on Kat and Alisha. "You two?"

Alisha and Kat exchanged glance then nodded. "Its a yes from us." They said in unison.

"No way. Going to the beach for the hundredth time? Nads, pick another destination please." Brandon whimpered.

I laughed. "Hey we've only been to the beach three times." I objected even though i know he was joking with that 'hundredth time' part.

"Shut up, Brandon or you will make her change her mind." Alisha hissed.

"Well, that's my point." A cocky smile had crept to his lips. "How, Nads?" He turned to me, still trying to get me to change my mind.
